Hi Folks,
I am a board member of Southern Prairie Railway out of Ogema, Saskatchewan, Canada. We are currently in the process of finalizing the purchase and transport of Ge 44-tonner CSRX #15. This locomotive will be the first unit purchased by our newly formed tourist railway with a 1920's era Pullman passenger car coming out of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. We intend on having the 44-tonner operational by the summer of 2011 with practice runs taking place in the fall and an official start in the Spring of 2012.
We will be chronicling the journey of CSRX #15 from Conway to Ogema on our website and/or blog over the next few months as we intend on transporting it by rail. If any of you have any stories/pictures/videos of #15 that you could send my way it would be greatly appreciated. Just send my a personal message or post them on the board.

Thanks and we look forward to giving CSRX #15 a good home and many, many more years of use.
